New Manitoba employment pilots aim to place up to 350 people
Family Services Minister Bonnie Mitchelson unveiled two pilot programs Opportunities Manitoba and Manitoba Conservation Corps to help Employment and Income Assistance clients find lasting work. The two-year Opportunities Manitoba partners with Mennonite Central Committee to train place and support up to 250 people, paid only after six months of employment. Manitoba Conservation Corps will hire about 100 people through the Department of Natural Resources to work in conservation and environmental projects while building job skills. Both programs keep clients eligible for assistance until employed with supports such as wage top-ups child care subsidies and transportation.
